This has definitely sent me in the right direction, thank you :)

Hopefully one last question: Suppose I enclose my function's code
within a try/catch. When I want to manually error out, I throw a new
Exception with the error message I want. From a design perspective,
what _should_ I be doing in that catch block?

Currently, for my testing, I'm just calling trigger_error in the catch
block to execute my custom error handler which is working like a charm.
Is this bad form in any way? This may be a silly question, but I
figure it's worth asking.
